Malware Insights
The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including PDF_JAVASCRIPT and PDF_JS. The ML classifier strongly indicates maliciousness (0.999991). The JavaScript stream exhibits obfuscation and uses eval() and String.fromCharCode(), common techniques for hiding malicious code. The extracted JavaScript files, 'javascript_obj0013_001.js' and 'acroform_b64_00.js', are likely responsible for executing the malicious payload, potentially by downloading and running additional malware. The exact payload and delivery mechanism are not fully discernible due to obfuscation, leading to a slightly reduced confidence.
Machine Learning
- Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 1.0000
Heuristics 5
-
eval() call high PDF_EVALeval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
-
JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPTPDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
Embedded JS stream low PDF_JSPDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
-
String.fromCharCode low PDF_FROMCHARCODEString.fromCharCode found — used to construct payload strings dynamically. Common in benign JavaScript libraries for codepoint manipulation, so this alone is informational; weaponised use is also caught by the dedicated fromCharCode-stage and exploit-shape rules. (matched inside decoded stream)
-
Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGEOne or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
